Hi All, I have a data with a variable like this:
Column 1 "123abc" "12cd34" "1e23" ... Now I want to do an operation that can split it into two variables: Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 "123abc" 123 "abc" "12cd34" 12 "cd34" "1e23" 1 "e23" ... So basically, I want to split the original variabe into a numeric one and a character one, while the splitting element is the first character in Column 1. I searched the forum with key words "strsplit"and "substr", but still can't solve this problem. Can anyone give me some hints?
